Souvenirs From Porto

Before I start my London posts, I just want to conclude Porto with some lovely souvenirs.

Wonderful gift(s) from C...


Obrigado! xoxo

Antique matches from here...


Love the retro feel of (a lot of) the package design of Portugese goodies. Here's a little example that I brought back from this beautiful store...


Até logo, Porto! :*

Conservatory of Music - Porto, Portugal

Once upon a time, this was a school.....and as I walked through the grounds and empty rooms of this building, I imagined how it once was....and at times, I also fancied that this was my home......

Rooftop Garden

This garden is perched high up on the rooftop where you can see a lovely view of Porto.  Walking through this garden, you can smell all the different herbs, marvel at all the fresh vegetables, watch the chickens cluck around a duck who's beautiful feathers make him look like royalty.

My Portugese Breakfast

My sweet tooth just couldn't resist...sometimes, when you're travelling, you just need to give in.  I love that you get your own cinnamon shaker....mmmm....


Bom apetite!

Have a look at their beautiful collection of children's books here.
